On last week's itinery was also a meeting with Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students and Communities) Mr Carl Rallings, and the University's International team (headed by Executive Director Professor Talal Yusaf) at USQ Toowoomba.

This is not the first visit to USQ for Dr Alajmi, who visited USQ Toowoomba in October 2014.

The focus of this visit was to discuss future collaboration to attract more students from Kuwait, and talk about how some current processes can better meet the needs of future students.

The Kuwait Cultural Office, which is based in Canberra, deals with the educational and financial affairs of all current and potential Kuwaiti students who wish to study in Australia and New Zealand.

Professor Thomas welcomed Dr Alajmi back to USQ, and said it was a pleasure to speak with him about matters important to current and future university students from Kuwait.

"The USQ community extends across Australia and around the globe, delivering world-class programs to students worldwide," Professor Thomas said.

"We are highly regarded for the student experience we provide, and dedicate ourselves to supporting our diverse student population.

"I thank Dr Alajmi for this opportunity to discuss ways to further improve that experience for our students from Kuwait."

Professor Yusaf said the number of students from Kuwait enrolled at USQ has risen considerably in recent years.

"They are an important and valued part of our student community, and we are committed to providing a quality higher education experience," Professor Yusaf said.
